Locala Children's Physiotherapy Team

We work with children and young people with a wide range of conditions that affect their movement, posture or physical skills development. We support children and young people to do what they need to do – grow, play, learn and be a part of family, school and social activities.

Our service is child and family focused and we are committed to empowering self-management. As well as providing assessment and treatment, we provide the information and education that individuals and their families need to support their child.

Children aged 0-16 with a musculoskeletal or neurological condition. This can be short term such as a soft tissue injury or long term condition such as cerebral palsy. Children we see can have mobility issues, pain and physical disabilities.  

Parents/carers can self-refer, we also accept referral from GP, consultants, education and all other health professionals. Referrals should be made through the single point of contact by calling 0300 304 5555 or online.

We have staff based in the Child Development Centre (CDC) on the site of Dewsbury and District Hospital. We see children here, at home and in the education setting (North Kirklees).  Children will be assessed and treated at the place deemed appropriate by the therapist.

Parents/carers are expected to attend the appointments.

We work Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm. We do not cover weekends or bank holiday.
